The ex-president of Argentina and all-around criminal
Carlos Menem will be speaking at Fordham University Law School in the Bronx on Monday, June 17, 2002. The Argentine
community is frightened by the new anti-immigrant laws
and has made an outreach to the anti-globalization
community for support in a protest against this man.

CONSIDERED A GANGSTER BY THE PEOPLE OF ARGENTINA-
FORMER PRESIDENT OF ARGENTINA AND CRIMINAL CARLOS
MENEM WILL BE GIVING A LECTURE AT FORDHAM UNIVERSITY
ON MONDAY THE 17th

Under the guise of supporting free trade and promising
prosperity between 1989 and 1999, Menem sold his
country to foreign interests -- quickly becoming the
posterboy for globalization. His actions as president
are directly responsible for Argentina's current and
unprecedented economic collapse. His name has been
linked to the Enron fiasco and Chilean dictator
Augusto Pinochet. Suspected of illegal arms trading
with Croatia and Ecuador, he was placed under arrest
and only recently released by one of the very judges
he appointed to the Argentine Supreme Court, While
capitalizing on his friendship with the Bush family,
his visit to the US is an attempt to launch a
re-election for 2003.

AS MANY NON-IMMIGRANT ARGENTINES LIVING IN NEW YORK MAY BE FEARFUL OF DEMONSTRATING, MAKE YOUR VOICE
HEARD. Bring a small metal cup, saucer or plate for a
New York style Cacerolazo. (pot banging protest)

Menem is so hated in Argentina for the policies he
instituted, that he can barely walk the streets of
Buenos Aires without inciting a riot:
